Stars
Barossa Gas Project 77% Completion
Barossa Gas Project, Santos' crown jewel, reached 77% completion by Dec 2025 with capex run-rate at ~US$4.2bn of the US$5.1bn budget; first gas is targeted in 2025, positioning it to backfill Darwin LNG and secure long-term exports to Asia. The high-growth asset should underpin Santos' upstream volumes, supporting ~25-30% of Darwin LNG feedstock needs and forecasted to lift FY2026 EBITDA by an estimated A$400-600m. While capital intensive, Barossa's scale and proximity to Asian demand make it a potential market leader in LNG supply from northern Australia. Operational delivery risks remain-schedule slippage or cost overruns would materially affect near-term returns.
PNG LNG Expansion and P'nyang Integration
Papua New Guinea is a high-growth market for Santos; PNG LNG (Santos 42.5%) produced ~9.1 mtpa in FY2025, beating targets, and P'nyang is advancing toward FID with ~2.5-3.0 mtpa incremental capacity planned to secure long-term LNG supply.
Narrabri Gas Project Phase 1 Execution
Narrabri Gas Project Phase 1 is a Star for Santos, addressing NSW energy security with targeted supply of ~200 terajoule/day and supporting East Coast demand tightness.
Santos invested ~US$400-500m in appraisal and early construction by FY2025, signaling heavy capex to secure market share amid regulatory review.
Steady capital and clear approvals are needed to convert growth into cash flow as domestic prices averaged ~A$12-16/GJ in 2025.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Commercialization
Moomba CCS is a first-to-market Star, operational with 1.7 million tonnes CO2/year storage capacity and launched commercially in 2025; Santos uses it to sell carbon-neutral energy as demand from decarbonization mandates grows (global CCS market projected CAGR ~12% through 2030).
The unit currently consumes cash-capital spend ~US$300-400m initial phase in 2025-but preserves Santos' social license and protects market share as customers shift to low-carbon fuels.
- 1.7 MtCO2/yr capacity
- Operational commercial launch 2025
- Initial capex ~US$300-400m
- CCS market CAGR ~12% to 2030
- Currently cash consumer; strategic for market share
Dorado Phase 1 Oil Development
Dorado Phase 1 in the Bedout Basin is one of Australia's largest recent offshore oil finds, targeted at 75,000-100,000 barrels per day initial production, with Santos as operator holding 80 percent-classifying it as a Star (high growth, high share) in Santos' liquids portfolio as capex ramps into the 2026-2027 start-up window.
- Location: Bedout Basin
- Initial production: 75,000-100,000 bbl/day
- Santos stake: 80% (operator)
- Target start: 2026-2027
- Role: High-growth, high-market-share Star
Santos 2025: Major LNG, Barossa progress, Dorado oil & Moomba CCS drive growth

The Cooper Basin legacy production units are Santos' cash cows, delivering ~120 PJ of gas and ~2.5 MMbbls of liquids in FY2025, supplying Australia and generating ~A$800-900m EBITDA annually. The mature basin shows low growth but high margins due to owned pipelines and processing, cutting unit opex to under A$6/GJ. Earnings fund Santos' hydrogen and CCS investments, supporting A$1.2bn capex guidance for transition projects through 2026.
Darwin LNG Backfill and Operations
Darwin LNG now runs as a steady-state processing hub after Bayu-Undan depletion, generating ~US$420m EBITDA in FY2025 by processing 35-40 TJ/day of third-party gas and sustaining ~70% market share of NT LNG exports under long-term offtakes.
Western Australia Offshore Gas Supply
Santos is the leading supplier in Western Australia, providing ~40% of WA gas demand in FY2025 via Reindeer and Spar; FY2025 WA gas sales contributed about A$1.1bn EBITDA to Santos, reflecting mature, stable demand from mining and industry.
